Air bag light is flashing and car was chugging extremely bad for a little bit then stopped and hasn't done it again in the last 5 starts.

Here's the story

I've taken off my manifolds, stock h pipe,stock muffers, and put on bassani headers and xpipe. i'm going to get rest of it welded up (muffers, tips, etc) on tuesday. After installing headers and midpipe, car was started, no chugging and no airbag light. Was moved around and probably started 10 times between then and now. Well, my O2 sensors were not long enough to reach the clips so my friend and I took it upon ourselves to lengthen the wires. We marked everything correctly to make sure we matched up the wires. Then we put in the O2's clipped em up and started it. Everything was fine.

Today I go to move the car and the air bag light is flashing at me and the car starts chugging really bad. I turn it off and fire it up again, no chugging but air bag light remains flashing. Same thing for next 2 starts.

Any ideas? Could something have gone wrong with my O2 sensor wires that would cause the air bag light to flash?

HELP!

Yeah the battery was disconnected and reconnected numerous times during the entire installation including disconnected before putting the O2 sensors back in.
